: Try ROSA T Anti-Acne Hydra Gel, infused with prebiotics to rebalance the skin microbiome and promote healthy skin.

This innovative approach to acne management leverages prebiotics, specifically a-glucan oligosaccharide, a natural sugar that selectively promotes the growth of beneficial skin-friendly microbes while limiting the growth of harmful post-acne bacteria.

The GRAPE E Anti-Aging Hydra Cream by Garden Of EDEN is expected to be a standout in the anti-aging category due to its impressive ingredient list and this is practically my favorite at first sight.

Indulge in an Exclusive VIP Traditional Thai Massage Experience at HealthLand Family Wellness Center

Looking for a special treat to rejuvenate your body and mind or maybe you want to treat your loved one? Look no further than HealthLand Family Wellness Center. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit this renowned wellness center, HealthLand, and experience their VIP Thai massage services, and let me tell you, it was truly a treat for both my husband and myself.

When I received an open invitation to try and review any of their treatments, I couldn’t resist. Plus I was really excited to treat my husband with a couple Thia massage sessions. After all, it’s not every day you get the chance to enjoy a VIP treatment. So, I quickly visited the HealthLand website to find a location near me and book our appointment. They’ve many centers located in and around KL, Melaka and Penang and I also found one here in my locality, Subang Jaya.

HealthLand Family Wellness Center review
HealthLand Family Wellness Center
HealthLand Family Wellness Center Subang Jaya

To be honest, I didn’t expect much from the outside look of HealthLand Family Wellness Center. It’s not as shiny and inviting from the outside. However, as soon as we stepped into the HealthLand Subang Jaya premises I was sorta surprised. Its very spacious, and nice and completely opposite from the outside look of it. One thing I must mention from the lift to the whole place was this scent of lemongass … ah! Loved that scent so much!


Our session was in the morning. Seemed the center was quite packed even in the first hour.

In the treatment menu,

  • Thainess Oil Treatment – a comprehensive therapy that gently massages your body and mind using soothing essential organic oils.
  • Thai Traditional Treatment – This is the most popular Traditional Thai Massage where skilled therapists apply precise pressure to pressure points and massage lines using their thumbs, palms, elbows, knees, or feet. By opening up energy channels, this therapy enables vital energy to flow freely, restoring balance and vitality to your body and mind.
  • Foot Treatment – Through targeted pressure applied to the pressure points on your foot soles, tension dissipates, and relaxation permeates throughout your entire body.

We choose to go very traditional with our VIP HealthLand experience, and went with Traditional Thai Massage.

Our pampering journey began with a foot wash. From there, we were guided to the Traditional Thai massage room. The comfortable, warm, and dimmed environment instantly put us at ease. There were separate dresses for male and female to wear during the massage service so that we could be relaxed to from our soul!

Healthland Thai Massage Review

The massage bed, linen, and clothes were neatly prepared, ensuring our comfort throughout the session. It was finally time to let go of all the stress and let our bodies rejuvenate.

I set my mind on a softer strength of massage myself that I talked through with the therapist. Cause I know my body, it’s a comfort lover. Husby didnt have any preferances.

The masseuses at HealthLand were incredibly skilled and attentive to our individual preferences. They applied the perfect amount of pressure (and I did say a few times please a tad more soft.. hehe) targeting the areas that needed the most attention. With each stroke, I could feel the tension melting away, leaving me in a state of pure bliss.

I took my last Thai Massage a long time back and that time the massage was with oil. I wasn’t familiar with Traditional Thai Massage and so I figured this time Traditional Thai Massage uses Balm instead of oil.

AH!

The tiger balm (as the therapist told me) feels this good I had no idea before. It’s so cooling and amazingly comforting.

The technique employed by the masseuses goes beyond just their hands; they skillfully utilize their elbows, legs, and feet to contort, twist, and stretch every part of the body. It was truly remarkable to experience their expertise as they worked their magic on our tired muscles, providing immense relief.

The whole 2 hour went by 10 minutes. I enjoyed the stretching and head-massage part the most!

As our treatment came to an end, we were served a refreshing ginger drink to help us unwind. Personally, I fell in love with the ginger drink. It was a strong ginger with (possibly honey) a punch of sweetness in it. It was recharging!

Our experience at HealthLand was simply pleasant.

I definitely enjoyed the part that my dear husband took the time off to spend time together middle of the week. We were having our little chit-chat while also we enjoyed the ultimate relaxation for our bodies!

Kinda been thanking myself that I thought to go together for the Thai Massage. If you decide on a Thai Massage then you should take your spouse with you as well.

Thainess with Oil Treatment rooms and foot treatment room, couldnt resist taking a peak inside.

The picture below is Thainess with the Oil Treatment room. Skipped taking a snap of the foot treatment room cause there were a lot of people and I didn’t want to disturb them by any means. Nonetheless seeing them taking the foot massage I’m actually set my mind to experience that foot massage service soon.

Healthland Subang Jaya

If you’re searching for high-quality treatments delivered by skilled masseuses at an affordable price, look no further than HealthLand Family Wellness Center. Whether you want to pamper yourself or surprise a loved one with a special treat, HealthLand guarantees an indulgent experience that will leave you feeling revitalized and rejuvenated.

FOREO UFO, Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

FOREO UFO, Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

Innovative beauty gadgets always attract me. Recently I’ve been trying out the FOREO UFO. It’s an LED Thermo-activated Smart Mask that looks super futuristic plus works to rescue skin problem 101. Moreover, FOREO UFO cares for time. A targeted and mess-free sheet mask treatment session you can have within just 90 seconds.

If you’re thinking only sheet masks then you’re too wrong! This is something beyond any regular sheet mask. UFO Smart Mask is packed with the latest skincare technology to give advanced clinical spa treatment at home where the small piece of sheet is just a medium. Then again, UFO activated sheet masks are also powered with Korean skincare formula, premium ingredients, and made of ultrafine microfiber to assure the ultimate result.

Have you ever thought of getting a Photofacial done?

The process of a clinical Photofacial and its cost will give you an instant heartache! Don’t worry, even I don’t want to talk that far because I already have a better solution here with me, FOREO UFO. This UFO Smart Mask by FOREO gives 3 targeted Photofacial that you can do by yourself at home.

Sounds interesting enough?

Thus, this article is about giving you an insight into my experience with FOREO UFO – LED THERMO Activated Smart Mask.

How to use FOREO UFO LED Thermo Activated Smart Mask Treatment?

It’s not anything hard but very easy to use a UFO Smart Mask. First, remove the attachment ring from UFO. Take UFO Activated Mask, that you want to use. Place the mask on the device. Place back the attachment ring by clipping it inside with the sheet mask. The attachment ring keeps the sheet mask secure with the UFO device.

How To Use Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask TreatmentForeo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment Review

I found that there is always some extra essence remains on the sheet mask packet. I take out the remaining essence on the sheet after locking it on UFO.

Rest is simple, turn your UFO and the FOREO app (if you’re using that) on. Then gently glide UFO across your clean face. Massage the formula in circular motions until the device turns off. If one treatment session (90 seconds) doesn’t feel enough you can restart the same treatment by pressing the button once within 30-second after the end.

After finishing the LED Thermal activated treatment, gently pat the remaining essence into the skin. Follow with a moisturizer if needed.

Foreo UFO Iphone App

Are you wondering if you must use the FOREO app to use UFO?

FOREO has a dedicated phone app for its beauty gadgets. Once downloaded the app will guide you to pair your UFO device with the app. When you scan the mask barcode the app reads it and sync the UFO automatically for the treatment. There are a few customizing options as well within the app to set thermal, light, or pulse function according to personal preference. With the FOREO app, you can set and use UFO just the way you want, which you can not do without the FOREO app.

However, UFO is usable without the app as well. The universal button does everything and it is pre-programmed for ‘Make It A Day’ and ‘Call It A Night’ Mask. If you press the button once, it will turn the UFO on. Press again for the ‘Make It A Day’ mask treatment. Press twice for the ‘Call It A Night’ mask treatment.

Initially, FOREO offered only these two masks to use with UFO Smart Mask. Just recently FOREO launched a few more varieties of mask treatment. To activate those new masks you must use the app. Once activated then you can use the universal button accordingly.

How FOREO UFO Smart Mask works?

Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

FOREO UFO features Hyper Infusion Technology which uses our skin’s natural reactions to heat and cold. UFO gradually warms in Thermo-Therapy mode. The gentle heat helps to infuse active mask ingredients into the skin, making them more effective in less time. The warmth also helps to relax and revitalize the skin as well as the mind. The cooling mode of UFO, Cryo-Therapy, is an effortless way to calm the skin down. It helps to reduce the appearance of pores and puffiness.

Along with those, FOREO’s signature, T-Sonic Pulsation Technology ensures that the skin gets the most out of every mask treatment.

Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

For that advanced level of face masking experience, FOREO UFO gives us the power of UV-free RGB phototherapy treatment at home. UFO’s red, green, and blue LED light wavelengths effortlessly rejuvenate the skin, and each wavelength rescues you from specific aspects of skin problems.

The Red LED works from an anti-aging perspective. It stimulates blood circulation and collagen production. Green LED helps to brighten a dull complexion and even out the skin tone. Blue LED kills bacteria and works to heal acne-prone skin. Literally one UFO session gives 3 targeted photo facials at once.

My experience with FOREO UFO 90-second Smart Mask:

Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

I was skeptical at the beginning and now I’m addicted to FOREO UFO.

Aesthetically this beauty device is quite pleasing, something you would want to show off! It is made of ultra-hygienic silicone and it’s soft and very smooth to touch. Among 3 colors I choose the mint UFO to match and fulfill the FOREO beauty gadget army (it’s a beauty addict’s thing, wink) of mine.

I’ve been using the basic ‘Make It A Day’ and ‘Call It A Night’ Foreo Mask Treatment with my UFO. Each type of mask UFO has a different pulse, heat, and light setting pre-programmed. I’m obsessed with UFO’s thermal technology. I did experience this before in a clinical skin treatment session but trust me it feels way better with the comfort of home.

Just before bed, I’ve been using the UFO ‘Call It A Night’ treatment and it feels I can sleep better after the treatment. UFO ‘Make It A Day’ treatment mask almost instantly revives skin health and makes me glow. Honestly, before FOREO UFO I and my skin never felt such relaxed and refreshed by any at-home mask. Plus, UFO only takes 90 seconds for that.

However, I’m never done with just 90 seconds of treatment of UFO Smart Mask. I end up longing for the thermal sensation more in my face. Besides, the amount of essence one mask sachet has is way too much for my face and neck. I go for a minimum of 2 treatment sessions (90×2) at once.

With FOREO UFO smart mask my sheet masking routine reached a whole new level. Ever since I got this beauty gadget I look for the chance to use it. Literally using it every day and I have to say it again – I’m addicted to FOREO UFO.

Cleaning, recharging and after use care for FOREO UFO Smart Mask:

Foreo UFO Smart Mask - Hpw It Works

To cleaning FOREO UFO after use, simply remove the attachment ring and trash the used mask. Rinse the UFO device and the attachment ring. You can use warm water if you prefer, I think normal water is fine as well. FOREO UFO device is 100% waterproof so don’t worry about the water getting into the device. But do not rinse it leaving the power on. After rinsing pat dry with a clean towel and place back the attachment ring. Store it in a suitable place. I put it on the stand placing the charging whole downside so the remaining water inside comes out and it dries faster.

FOREO UFO is rechargeable and you can charge it anywhere as you prefer using the provided USB cable. One fully charged (2.5-hour charge) UFO device gives around 40 use (90-second smart mask treatment time).

This smart mask device, FOREO UFO, comes with 2-Year Limited Warranty and a 10-Year Quality Guarantee. Which marks the device as an investment for better skin.

Foreo UFO Smart Mask To The Rescue Skin Problem 101 | LED THERMO Activated Sheet Mask Treatment

Do you really need FOREO UFO for better skin?

I won’t tell you much. But, hell0… YES!

FOREO UFO is an expensive beauty gadget. Still, this hi-tech sheet mask thingy, a meld of Swedish technology and Korean beauty formula, completely worth it! Getting a UFO smart mask will be an investment in your skin. The comfort and outcome of FOREO UFO Smart Mask Treatments are simply mind-blowing. Moreover, with the regular use of UFO technology, especially LED light therapy we can surely control possible skin problems 101.

What you say?

I wouldn’t deny that we do need those full-time relaxing spa sessions at home or clinically as well in our life. Despite that, can you really deny to a 90-second power-packed skincare indulgent which is available any time within the comfort of your home?

Even if you’re not a face mask lover, you’ll love the experience of FOREO UFO Smart Mask. You will love how the skin looks after each FOREO UFO treatment session. Furthermore, the effect of these treatments isn’t anything temporary but it gives a visible improvement.

Murad Vita-C Quenching Facial Review

Murad Vita-C Quenching Facial Review

I just had a facial done after ages, Murad Vita-C Quenching Facial. I’m sure you’re well known for Murad Skincare already. Why wouldn’t you, after all, Murad was around since 1989 founded by Dr. Murad, and with the trust of its customers this brand has been in the market for so long. If you’re a beauty addict like me you’ve already heard of how good their products are. I myself a fan of their products for years. To be honest Murad skincare products are pricey yet as per my experience, it’s completely understandable why they’re.

Besides that Did you know Murad offers facials as well?

Murad Vitamin C Quencing Facial review

If you didn’t and it’s not anything new either. Every Murad outlet is also a full-form aesthetic clinic as well. Furthermore, Murad facials are even personalized too. You so present your skin concerns and the expert will take care of them for you.

I have done facials at Murad several times in the past and just did their vita-c quenching facial which was something new I’ve tried this time. Thanks to Murad Malaysia of course for the offer to try again their facial service.

This time I’ve experienced Mursd’s Vita-C Quenching Facial considering my skin need which was a 75-minute intensive facial focused on treating the skin pigmentation and intensive hydration. Among its several treatment steps, Murad Vita-C Quenching Facial consists of ultrasonic soundwaves to brighten, smooth, and hydrates skin to reveal radiant and more even skin tone.

The treatment lounge at Sunway pyramid is located at the back of its store. You get a spacious, cozy room for your facial session, a cupboard for your stuff, a clean environment, ambient lights to set the mood right, and whatnot!

The First Step: Cleansing

a basic cleansing first to remove all the makeup and dirt and then followed by deep cleansing.

Second Step: Extracting Clogged Pores

After the cleansing process, my face was all clan and supple due to the use of steam and the pores were all ready to get rid of whatever had clogged inside. I haven’t done that for ages and it kinda hurts a bit. Good that I only had a couple of clogged pores and not many black or white heads.

Third Step: Glycolic acid exfoliation

applied gel-like glycolic acid for 10 minutes. I loved this step. Well, it did sting for a minute or two then the face was feeling calm. afterward, my face was instantly glowing.

Fourth Step: Felaxing Face and Shoulder Massage

Around 10 minutes and this was so so relaxing with the ambient lights and music. I was about to fall asleep yet I didn’t. Decided to stay awake and feel the massage.

The Exciting Step: Ultrasonic Sound Wave

First, they applied Vitamin C Quenching Essence to solve skin’s hydration and pigmentation problems. Then comes the ultrasonic sound wave to penetrate the serum in the deep layer of the skin. 10min on each side of the face. The device felt cold and extremely relaxing and practically this 20minutes was the most relaxing part of this facial. Kinda reminded me of the Thermotherapy I do at home yet this was way more intense than what I do at home.

Last Step: Hydrating Mask and Pack-up

At this step, they applied a 10-min Mask hydrating mask. After 10 minutes wiped off the mask and applied a soothing serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen to finish off the skin.

I and my skin were so relieved and refreshed after the facial. I felt my skin was breathing itself… that fresh!

How was my overall experience with Murad Vita-C Quenching Facial?

The facial was No doubt a great experience for me as I haven’t had my skin done for years due to the pandemic years and all. My skin was glowing from within and had that amazing supple look in it. And it was widely visible I tell you. The effect literally lasted around 3 days. I would wake up in the morning and look at my face and say Oh, my skin is still glowing. Was sad on the fourth day seeing the skin glow dimmed a bit. Wish it had a lengthier effect.

I like one fact about Murad facials that is you won’t be leading to a push sale tactics to make you buy their skincare stuff after the facial which sadly other aesthetic clinic does. I hate it from the bottom of my heart. You can simply follow up with your regular skincare products afterward. If you’re already using Murad products you won’t have to change to different skincare. Actually, It doesn’t matter or is relevant to whatever skincare you for before or after the facial service. Every facial results in a one-off effect. It is just the intensive skin pampering session that you can give your skin every month or every other month to keep a balance between your skincare routine and professional services.

A little pampering never hurts after all!

Murad Vita-C Quenching Facial is priced at RM369 for a 75-minute session.
Murad’s exclusive outlets are available at Sunway Pyramid, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Bangsar, Empire Shopping Gallery, and IOI City Mall. For more information, you can check out their official website as well.

My Experience with Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum & City SkinAge Defense SPF 50 PA ++++

This serum is transparent yet slightly orangish in color. Has a smile feelings to it. Takes a minute to completely absorb into the skin.

For your reference, I’ve a combination skin type.

How exactly I use this Rapid Dark Spot Serum By Murad?

Been using this serum mostly in my data time skincare routine. As the alternative nights I don’t use a retinol product.

Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum Texture

After cleansing I use a toner or essence on my face first then one pump on each side of my face I would apply this serum. Then another pump for my neck and chest area. After a minute when the serum is fully absorbed I follow up with moisturizer. Specifically for the day time skincare routine I finish my skincare steps with the sunprotection, Murad City Skin Age Defence Broad spectrum SPF 50 PA++++

Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum Before After Comparisn

If you take a look at the comparison picture above, to begin with I had a slight uneven skin tone at the side of my face. And in the after picture (exactly 2 weeks of use both of the Dark Spot Serum and City Skin Sunscreen) my skin is pretty much evened out.

For the clarification both picture I’ve taken with the sunscreen on.

The bits of sunspots and freckles I’ve can’t tell if they faded out a bit or not but I like how my skin tone is more even now.

So yes, this urad Dark Spot Serum surely works with a visible effect. In fact I didn’t initially expected too see much this fast considering my previous experience with Murad Skincare. They usually works fantastic with a slow and steady manner.

I’m pleased that this serum did meet its claims and of course looking forward to see more improvement as I continue using it.

Murad City Skin SPF 50 PA++++ Sunscreen

Murad Skin Age Defense SPF 50 PA ++++

This City Skin Sunscreen by Murad is a 100% mineral AKA physical sunscreen with a slightly tinted formula that mimics a brighter looking skin.

Murad City Skin SPF 50 PA++++ shields the skin against multiple types of light damage whether indoor blue light from screens or outdoor UVA and UVB. I’ve tried a few bottle of it in the past and loved it. I like the tinted formula of this sunscreen as it gives a radiant and kinda pearlized finish to the skin.

I’ve posted a detail review on this sunscreen, give a read here to know more in details, texture and etc.

AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum Review | A mild yet steady solution for glowing skin with 5% Niacinamide!

Battling dark spot and maintaining skin glow, these two are probably the two crucial skin concern that everyone more or less have in their skincare strategy. what if you get the solution in a 2-in-1 product? yes, I’ll be sharing my experience about that in this AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum review.

Have you read my other review on AxisY Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen?
If you have then you know I’ve been trying out this Axis-Y Serum along with the sunscreen. Considering my first time using products from the brand AXIS-Y, it has been a pleasant experience with both of these products.

What Is AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum?

AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum is a product from AXIS-Y 6+1+1 skincare range.

This is, as it says, a Dark Spot Serum where 5% Niacinamide is a core ingredient to correct dark spots on the skin by reducing pigmentation and improving uneven skin tone.

How To Use AXIS Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum?

Easy, use a thin layer all over the face or you can also use it just in the targeted areas.

I use it all over my face.

I’ve used both day and night routines (mostly, some days I skip at night) every day after applying the toner. The serum takes around 30 to 40 seconds to get absorbed into the skin. Glycerin and squalane-based products are always not fast absorbers.

After the serum is well absorbed in my skin I follow with the next skincare product.

My Experience with AXIS-Y Dark Spot Serum

AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum

Its been around a month of using this serum. I like a 50ml tube because any usual 30 serums simply run out too fast sometimes even before understanding what they’re doing on the skin. I took the time to review this AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum this stuff because,

  1. It didn’t give any instant result
  2. It started working and showing the result after a good amount of use. And this thing turned out great for my skin.

No, I’m not giving you the conclusion right here.
Let me talk a bit in detail,

First of all, AXIS-Y Correcting Serum has a cloudy gel texture (picture below), thicker than a usual serum, that absorbs not right away but yes considerably quick into the skin.

AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum Review

I don’t have acne-prone skin hence dark spots on my face are mostly are suns spots.

Plus nowadays my baby finds it very entertaining to scratch my face, therefore, there is always some new scratch mark on my face every week. These are the dark spot concerns I’ve been dealing with at the moment and always in a try to make those spots go away faster or I should say finding a way to make it appear lighter.

AXIS-Y’s Dark Spot Serum has been helping a lot, especially for the spots I’ve been getting from my baby. I would always see my one-week-old spots are almost gone by the end of the week.

For the old sunspots, I have,
well, they are always stubborn! Perhaps they’re in a control to appear in the ultimate pigmented state.

How Does AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum Works?

Although The AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum contains Niacinamide (5%), and Papaya Fruit Extract as an enzymatic exfoliant, the strength is mild here thus the result comes out slowly with regular use of the serum.

However, because of its mild characteristic, the serum is actually great to incorporate within any skincare routine. I find it works amazing with my other powerful skincare products.

For instance, my retinol products at night Simply can layer 5% Niacinamide over retinol without the tension of irritating my skin. Whereas because it contains squalane it relieves me from the thought of dryer skin the next morning due to the retinol.

Does the AXIS-Y Dark Spot Serum Make skin glow?

First of all, for its moisturizing properties, AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum does soothe the skin. It did help to calm down skin irritation during the hot afternoon (always topped with sunscreen) and calmed down my skin.

For instance, In the morning I tend to skip my moisturizing essence/toner as this AxisY serum itself gives me my required moistures effect. Then I would layer my Klairs Vitamin-C drops. Been skipping the moisturizer as well lately because my skin was feeling moisturized. Lastly, I would top up my face with sunscreen.

I wash my face every three to four hours when I’m home and reapply everything day-time skincare specifically to keep the sun protection intact and also to feel fresh throughout the day. Never felt my skin wasn’t dehydrated or such so far with this routine of mine and specifically with AXIS-Y Spot Correcting Serum.

Do I Recommend Axis Y Dark Spot Serum?

I like the non-irritant characteristic of this serum while having a stable solution to maintain glowing skin. I think everyone would want that.

If you’re in cold weather I’m sure you would like its moisturizing effect. If you’re in a hot and dry climate like me you’ll find this serum does the job of your other moisturizing product alone.

Now, if you want a banish all your spots from the face like magic,
– eh, no SORRY!
this is no magic potion.

Yet overall this serum is a good serum. If you’re looking to minimize your skincare steps, want a simplistic product to maintain good skin that also provides some level of moisture to the skin this serum is going to be your go-to.

If you’re a person like me then this will just be an add-on to the skincare. I would not stop reaching for my targeted and more powerful stuff for this serum alone.

With that being said I believe AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum is going to be amazing for younger skin e.g. if you’re a teen or in your 20s, go for it.

AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen Review | 2in1 : Sunscreen and brightness boost with Niacinamide

#ButFirstSunscreen, that’s how my skincare game runs now! Since last month I’ve been trying out AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen. Axis-Y, a Korean skincare brand, is a fairly new skincare brand to me. I’m getting to know a couple of their products, along with this AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen at the moment.

So far it turned out to be a simplistic yet effective skincare range just as their packaging looks. Let me tell you my detailed experience with this AxisY Physical Sunscreen…

What is AXIS-Y No-Stress Physical Sunscreen?

It’s as it says a physical sunscreen. With generous sun protection with SPF 50+ PA++++. Which means it protects skin from UVA+UVB rays. Contained Zinc Oxide and Titanium Oxide give broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

How To Use Axis-Y Sunscreen

It’s just as usual. Wash your skin and apply all your daily skincare products. Shake the sunscreen tube dispense a generous amount of sunscreen and apply it to your face, neck, ears, and decolletage. Do re-apply in a minimum 3 to 4 hours gap during the day.

I couldn’t find anything about Axis-Y sunscreen to be waterproof so if you’re going to the pool you might want to switch to a waterproof one.

My Experience with AXIS-Y No-Stress Physical Sunscreen

AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++

The Physical sunscreen has a creamy texture. Gives a whitish layer initially and takes a minute or two to absorb into the skin. It’s a bit oily at first but after spreading it evenly it becomes less oily. When the sunscreen is blended properly it leaves no white cast however if not blended properly whitish layer feels obvious and also skin feels slightly sticky.

In the final finish, it leaves the skin matte.

I like a dewy feeling and look in my skin, all the time. Hence when I’m using this sunscreen I make sure I’ve used a hydrating skincare product (serum or moisturizer) underneath.

When it’s about sunscreen my personal preference is a hybrid or chemical sunscreen. Mainly because a physical sunscreen feels heavier than a chemical sunscreen. It’s normal, a physical sunscreen requires more product to protect the skin from the sun as it lays on the top of the skin. With that being said, I find AxisY sunscreen is considerably lightweight.

The dispensing nozzle of AXIS-Y sunscreen is something I really like. This nozzle makes it super convenient to apply the right amount of product to the skin. Also the 50ml packaging of it I find good enough to use for a couple of months.

Are you a mommy to be? Wondering if AXIS-Y Sunscreen is safe during pregnancy?

All physical sunscreens are and this one as well. This stays on the top of your skin nothing much going inside. And whatever going inside like niacinamide or such isn’t harmful to pregnancy at all.

Do I recommend Axis-Y Sunscreen?

Yes, it’s a good one especially if you’re a fan of physical sunscreen and matte finish on the skin.

I’m almost halfway around finishing the tube. I also have it on my repurchase list if I feel like switching to a matte finish sunscreen. Especially I feel this sunscreen going to be a great choice when I’m in humid weather.

PS: I have got a combination skin type.

That’s it for this post. Do read my other AXIS-Y product review, Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, in case that’s something you have in your mind.
